The article aims to outline the semantic and syntactic specifics of verbs of auditory perception and sound production. There is a strong semantic relationship between these two subclasses, although the predicates differ in terms of the syntactic realisation of their semantic participants. Five FrameNet frames are analysed in more detail. Their desc...

The article aims at describing a specific variety of perception predicates, namely active perception predicates. Active are considered those predicates in which the perceiving subject voluntarily directs his attention or sense organs to the object of perception. The differences between the analyzed predicates and the other subclasses of perception...

This paper presents a critical overview of thematic classes of stative verbs. To this end, we analyse three well-known thematic classifications of stative verb classes. While the main focus is on the works by Paducheva (1996; 2004), Spencer and Zaretskaya (2003) and Van Valin and LaPolla (1997), where relevant we comment on research by other author...

The paper presents work in progress on the compilation and automatic annotation of a dataset comprising examples of stative verbs in parallel Bulgarian-Russian corpora with the goal of facilitating the elaboration of a classification of stative verbs in the two languages based on their lexical and semantic properties. We extract stative verbs from...

The paper presents the partially automatically annotated and fully manually validated Bulgarian-English Sentence- and Clause-Aligned Corpus. The discussion covers the motivation behind the corpus development, the structure and content of the corpus, illustrated by statistical data, the segmentation and alignment strategy and the tools used in the c...

The paper presents a new resource light flexible method for clause alignment which combines the Gale-Church algorithm with internally collected textual information. The method does not resort to any pre-developed linguistic resources which makes it very appropriate for resource light clause alignment. We experiment with a combination of the method...
